Oxidisation

Picked up a sound rear hub at the weekend. It was quite heavily oxidised though. At the moment I've gone over it with a wire brush and because I won't be using it immediately I have sprayed it all over with WD40 which I'm hoping may prevent any more corrosion. What's the best way of tackling it?

Hi,I would get it blasted then powder coated and see what you have left ,you can then flat down high build primer the hub, then re- flat it down and wet spray ,all depends how fussy you want to be I suppose.

there is a 2 part mix called alachrome (not spelt right but thats how it sounds ) remove all oxidisation apply (spray bottle or cotton wool soaked) on till it goes a lovely gold coulour and wash with water and then paint when dryed off ps be careful of the cotton wool as it drys out it can go on fire on its own (there is a big word for that but cant spell it )
